MSXML VBA: Validating XML against XSD: “The '' namespace provided differs from the schema's targetNamespace.”

Question

I’m trying to validate an .XML file against an .XSD file with MSXML 6.0 DOM but on executing the code I’m getting this error message:

Test.xsd#/schema/target

You shouldn't have to change anything in your xml/xsd, since together they are valid. The problem is in your code, so I would suggest to take a look at this sample that shows what I think is different than your code: when you add the XSD to the cache, use the target namespace http://somewhere.com/root instead of the empty string.
